Can Meme Coins Make a Strong Comeback in December 2025?

The meme coins have had a rough week to say the least, as the broader market exhibited neutral to bearish cues. While many tokens are still suffering losses, others are close to a reversal.

BeInCrypto has analysed three such meme coins that the investors should watch as January nears its end.

Ponke (PONKE)PONKE ranked among the weakest performers this week after sliding 21% to trade near $0.0474. The meme coin remains above the $0.0454 support level, limiting further downside for now. Short-term price action reflects heavy selling, but stabilization suggests immediate capitulation has not occurred.

Despite the decline, PONKE continues to hold above its 50-day exponential moving average. This level often signals short-term trend strength. Maintaining support above the EMA reduces the probability of a deeper breakdown and keeps the possibility of a technical rebound intact.

PONKE Price Analysis. Source: TradingViewA recovery would require PONKE to reclaim the $0.0525 resistance level. Clearing that barrier could drive the price toward $0.0611, offsetting recent losses. Conversely, sustained bearish sentiment could force a drop below $0.0454, exposing PONKE to a decline toward $0.0402.

Popcat (POPCAT)POPCAT dropped 18.4% over the past week, ranking among weaker meme coin performers. The token currently trades above the $0.081 support level. Despite heavy selling, this zone has limited further downside, suggesting short-term stabilization as traders assess whether losses are nearing exhaustion.

Technical indicators point to potential exhaustion. The Money Flow Index sits near the oversold threshold at 20.0, signaling fading selling pressure. A move below this level often precedes relief rallies. If buyers step in, POPCAT could rebound toward $0.089, with $0.100 needed to recover recent losses.

POPCAT Price Analysis. Source: TradingViewDownside risk remains if sentiment fails to improve. Continued selling could force POPCAT below the $0.081 support. A breakdown would likely drag the price toward $0.077 or lower, invalidating the bullish reversal thesis and reinforcing bearish momentum in the near term.

Mog Coin (MOG)MOG price declined 17.8% over the past week and trades near $0.000000267 at the time of writing. Unlike other meme coins, MOG shows limited signs of stabilization. Price structure and momentum indicate further downside risk rather than an imminent reversal in current market conditions.

Selling pressure is still building, according to momentum indicators. The Money Flow Index stands at 37.1, well above the 20.0 oversold threshold that often precedes rebounds. This suggests the MOG price could continue falling, break $0.000000242 support, and slide toward the previously tested $0.000000206 level.

MOG Price Analysis. Source: TradingViewA shift in broader market sentiment could change the outlook. If bullish conditions strengthen, MOG may stabilize above $0.000000242. Holding that support could allow a rebound toward $0.000000317, invalidating the bearish thesis and signaling renewed speculative interest in the meme coin.

In brief Meme coins Pepe, Bonk, and Shiba Inu led a speculative charge, with double-digit gains, as Bitcoin pushed above $90,000. Macro factors like rate cuts could fuel a "risk-on" 2026, but some have warned meme coin rallies are poor signals due to low liquidity. Market sentiment remains split, with prediction market optimism at a 2026 high while the broader Crypto Fear & Greed Index stays in "Fear." Meme coins are surging amid renewed interest in the sector, as Bitcoin continues to grind higher for the start of the year.

Leading the charge are Bonk, Pepe, and Shiba Inu, posting 24-hour gains of over 20%, 14%, and 10%, respectively, according to CoinGecko data. On a weekly basis, however, Pepe leads with a 70% rally, followed by Bonk at 48% and Dogecoin at 22%.

The resurgence in crypto's riskier assets coincides with a stabilizing Bitcoin.

The top crypto has closed higher for four consecutive days, pushing past the pivotal $90,000 mark after several failed attempts in late 2025.

Bitcoin’s drive this time, however, is backed by a substantial uptick in the aggregated open interest, which has surged to $31.44 billion, a six-week high, according to CryptoQuant.

Sustained rate-cutting cycle, disinflation, and new U.S. access to strategic resources like Venezuelan oil as factors that could be coalescing to support risk assets, according to Derek Lim, head of research at crypto market-making firm Caladan.

“All the above when viewed in tandem may prelude to a shift towards a more risk-on sentiment in 2026,” Lim told Decrypt. “Perhaps the current price movements are attempting to price all these in.”

He urged caution, however, in interpreting the meme coin rally as a definitive signal. 

“I will hesitate to read this as the market shifting into a more risk-on mode,” Lim said. “Meme coin pumps can be relatively easily manufactured by a multitude of factors, such as low liquidity, extremely low float, so it may not necessarily represent any larger shifts in momentum/attitudes with regard to the broader market.”

Retail sentiment mirrors that cautiously optimistic stance.

Users on prediction market Myriad—owned by Decrypt’s parent company, Dastan—now assign an 82% chance that Bitcoin hits $100,000 before $69,000, up from 62% at the start of the year.

The recovery is not limited to meme coins; other top altcoins, including Hyperliquid, Hedera, Aster, and XRP, have also surged by roughly 5% over 24 hours. 

Still, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index suggests that, despite the hot streak in meme coins, the broader psychological recovery from the 2025 downturn is not yet complete.

The probability that the U.S. takes control of Greenland this year has spiked on prediction markets as President Donald Trump intensifies push to annex the world's largest island.

Will Trump's Greenland Plans Succeed?Odds in favor of the contract titled "Will Trump acquire Greenland before 2027?" surged to 22% on Polymarket, up from 8% since the year began.

Over $14 million has been wagered on the bet, among the highest on the Polygon (CRYPTO: POL)-based platform currently.

Meanwhile, odds on Kalshi, a federally authorized betting platform, have been broadly unchanged from last week, currently at 46%.

Punters are also betting on Trump’s threats of tariffs against countries resisting his Greenland plans, with odds exceeding 30% for new duties on Denmark, Finland, and France starting next month.

Tensions Escalate Between the US and EUGreenland's leadership has consistently rejected Trump's attempts to gain control, with Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen stating that they would “choose” Denmark over the U.S.

EU ambassadors reached a broad agreement Sunday to dissuade Trump from imposing tariffs, while also drafting countermeasures in case the duties are imposed.

Member states are also considering the never-before-used Anti-Coercion Instrument, which could curb access to public tenders, investments, banking activity or trade in services where the U.S. holds a surplus, including digital services.

Industry and geopolitical analysts believe the plan to acquire Greenland, a semiautonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, could cost the U.S. nearly $1 trillion over the next 20 years with no significant economic return.

3 Signs Smart Money Is Repositioning in Crypto Right Now

Ripple CTO Emeritus David Schwartz (@JoelKatz) used a June 17 post on X to put $XRP utility front and center ahead of Swell 2026, pointing to the growing number of ways developers and businesses are deploying the asset across finance and blockchain applications.

Payments, Tokenization, DeFi, and AI in Focus Schwartz highlighted $XRP use cases spanning payments, tokenization, decentralized finance, interoperability, and artificial intelligence ahead of Ripple Swell 2026. His remarks were framed as an invitation to the broader $XRP community, with Schwartz writing that "the best part of these events is always seeing the new ways people are using XRP and building on the XRP Ledger," and that he was looking forward to "diving into core use cases around payments, tokenization, interoperability, DeFi, AI, and whatever comes next."

Recent Ripple initiatives and broader ecosystem activity have expanded $XRP's presence in payments, treasury management, liquidity, and cross-chain applications. On the enterprise side, Ripple said its treasury platform now lets organizations hold, manage, and transact with $XRP and RLUSD inside existing workflows, with real-time valuation, transaction recording, and auditability for treasury teams. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has also described using AI in cash forecasting and real-time liquidity management for finance teams.

Independent voices in the ecosystem have reinforced the utility narrative. Panos Mekras, co-founder and CEO of Anodos Finance, said his company bought, held, and paid employees with $XRP since 2023, operating across the XRP Ledger, Solana, and Flare. Alexis Sirkia, chairman of Yellow Network, pointed to increased $XRP activity in payments, tokenization, liquidity provision, and settlement by institutions and developers.

Swell 2026: Ripple's Biggest Event Yet Schwartz's comments come as Ripple prepares to host what it describes as its most ambitious gathering to date. Ripple has described Swell 2026 as its largest Swell event yet, with more than 1,500 attendees, over 75 speakers, more than 50 sessions, and three stages in New York City. For the first time, it combines the Swell and Apex conferences into one unified experience across multiple programming tracks.

The speaker list includes Matt Damon, co-founder of Water.org; Tom Farley, chairman and CEO of Bullish; Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple; Billy Hult, CEO of Tradeweb; Monica Long, president of Ripple; and Schwartz himself. The event brings together financial leaders, fintech founders, developers, and researchers to explore the intersection of traditional finance and the onchain economy.

A Hollywood Star Is Joining Ripple’s Stage — Here’s Why

Hollywood actor and Water(.)org co-founder Matt Damon is set to take the stage at Ripple Swell in New York this October, bringing together celebrity philanthropy and blockchain payments infrastructure at one of crypto's leading annual events.

The event runs from October 27 to 29. Ripple CTO Emeritus David Schwartz confirmed his attendance, describing it as the largest Swell event yet. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse is also on the speaker roster, alongside Ripple President Monica Long.

How Water(.)org Uses Ripple Payments and RLUSDThe nonprofit was co-founded by actor Matt Damon and engineer Gary White, and uses small loans to help families pay for water and sanitation systems. At Swell, Damon will share how the organisation is using Ripple Payments and the RLUSD stablecoin to speed up cross-border payments for clean water projects.

Traditional cross-border transfers to microfinance partners in emerging markets pass through multiple correspondent banks, take days to settle, and incur a fee on each payment. Ripple routes RLUSD across blockchain rails in minutes, delivering a dollar-equivalent asset to recipient institutions without that overhead. That speed advantage matters most for smaller aid transactions, where transfer fees can eat a disproportionate share of each payment.

Ripple launched RLUSD as a stablecoin backed by US dollar deposits, short-term Treasuries, and cash equivalents. It operates on the XRP Ledger and Ethereum and supports payments, settlement, and other blockchain transactions.

The Get Blue Campaign and Water(.)org's ReachRipple has joined Water(.)org as the exclusive digital asset and payments partner for its Get Blue campaign, deploying its RLUSD stablecoin to accelerate funding for clean water access. Water(.)org launched the campaign at the World Economic Forum in Davos in January 2026, with a goal of reaching 200 million people with safe water by 2030.

Water(.)org has mobilised $7.7 billion and positively impacted 88 million lives across Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Founding partners for Get Blue include Gap, Amazon, Starbucks, and Ecolab.

Ripple previously used RLUSD in a drought insurance pilot for pastoral communities in Kenya and committed $25 million to education groups in the US, supporting DonorsChoose and Teach For America. The Water(.)org partnership extends that humanitarian track record further into global development finance.

The XRP community’s reaction to the Ripple Swell 2026 announcement was immediate and hostile. Retail holders flooded the @RippleSwell reply thread within hours of the announcement. The consistent theme was not excitement about 1,500 attendees or a merged XRPL Apex agenda; it was anger that Ripple’s flagship institutional event appears to be building a case for RLUSD while XRP falls.

FUUUUUCK YOU. replaced XRP with your fucking stable coin your entire funding fan base will have a target on your heads.

— Beer and Bonfires (@xmasbrent) June 19, 2026 The frustration has a specific target as Ripple’s USD-pegged stablecoin is taking up conference oxygen that long-term holders believe should belong to XRP. Community members used language that ranged from sharp to outright furious. The community is even calling Ripple’s leadership out by name, including CEO Brad Garlinghouse.

The underlying accusation is not subtle. Ripple is constructing a regulated institutional business around RLUSD while XRP’s price stagnates and holders are disappointed.

Swell 2026 Scope: What’s Ripple Actually DoingSwell 2026 is scheduled for October 27–29 at The Shed in Hudson Yards, New York City, and represents the first time Ripple is folding its developer-focused XRPL Apex summit into the main Swell conference. The combined event is targeting 1,500-plus attendees, 75-plus speakers, and 50-plus sessions across three programmatic stages covering finance, blockchain infrastructure, and digital assets.

Ripple’s stated agenda themes include payments, tokenization, decentralized finance, AI applications, interoperability, and stablecoins. RLUSD’s role in enterprise treasury management and cross-border settlement is a prominent feature of the institutional track.

I've been in crypto long enough to know when a moment is real. This is one of them.

10 years of Swell converging with real scale, institutional adoption, and Swell + Apex together for the first time this fall. We've been building toward this moment — see you in New York!… pic.twitter.com/EQnLPMmLrA

— Brad Garlinghouse (@bgarlinghouse) June 18, 2026 The XRP Ledger’s milestone of surpassing 4 billion completed transactions is being cited by Garlinghouse as evidence that the network has matured enough for the institutional audience Ripple is targeting.

Garlinghouse framed the moment with deliberate confidence:

“I’ve been in crypto long enough to know when a moment is real”

The statement positions Swell 2026 as a threshold event for institutional crypto adoption, which is accurate as a description of Ripple’s ambition, but says nothing specific about what that adoption means for XRP price or holder value.

XRP Holders Are Not Hiding Their FrustrationThe community sentiment is not a fringe reaction. Retail XRP holders expressed a clear and recurring grievance. Ripple is allocating conference prominence to RLUSD and institutional partnerships while XRP’s price continues to underperform relative to the company’s corporate milestones.

People are saying Brad is a grifter, using XRP holders as a ponsy scheme to buy other companies. I pray he pays the ultimate price. Lawsuits from XRP holders will bankrupt Ripple and have a negative impact on the Crypto market as a whole. Time will tell..,.

— Aramis (@Aramis910961) June 19, 2026 The tone in several replies was openly hostile toward Garlinghouse and the Ripple leadership team, with holders describing themselves as investors who have been systematically sidelined.

The token burn argument has re-emerged as a focal point. A portion of the XRP community is pushing for supply reduction as a mechanism to create direct price pressure, a demand that Ripple has consistently declined to act on.

That refusal, combined with a conference agenda that leads with stablecoins and tokenization rather than XRP utility, is being read by holders as a signal about where Ripple’s actual priorities sit.

Community sentiment of this intensity is a legitimate market signal. When the XRP community, historically one of the most vocal and coordinated retail bases in crypto, publicly turns on a Ripple event, it registers in social volume metrics that can suppress short-term buying pressure and amplify sell-side momentum.

Next Price Point Loading: Arctic Pablo Nears Phase Flip — $0.000095 Ends Soon While Mubarak and Goatseus Maximus Make Moves

GOAT rallied to as high as 71% today after it secured a listing on Binance Alpha, paving the way for a potential future listing on the main exchange.

According to data from crypto.news, Solana-based memecoin Goatseus Maximus (GOAT) soared to an intraday high of $0.248, its highest level since Jan. 25, and up nearly 600% from last month’s low. The surge came alongside a massive 178% spike in trading volume, with nearly $373 million worth of GOAT traded in 24 hours.

There are three main catalysts driving GOAT crypto’s gains today.

First, GOAT was recently added to the Binance Alpha platform, a spotlight section within crypto exchange Binance designed to highlight early-stage or trending crypto projects to users.

While a listing on Binance Alpha does not automatically mean Binance will list the token, projects featured on Alpha often gain significant exposure, and if they demonstrate strong community interest, trading volume, and sustainability, they stand a higher chance of being fully listed on Binance in the future.

Second, GOAT’s rally comes amid a broader rally among Solana-based memecoins with the sector gaining 10.5% over the past day as other major players like dogwifhat (WIF), Peanut the Squirrel (PNUT), cat in a dogs world (MEW), and Moo Deng (MOODENG) are experiencing gains ranging between 25-100% respectively.

Lastly, activity in the derivatives market has picked up sharply over the past day. Data from CoinGlass shows open interest in GOAT futures was up 61% in the past 24 hours when writing, sitting at a four-month high of $161.7 million.

Meanwhile, the long/short ratio on Binance was far above 1 as of last check, which is a sign that more traders were betting that GOAT will continue climbing in the short term.

Together, the data points to a growing wave of speculative optimism, with traders seemingly positioning for a breakout if GOAT secures a full Binance listing.

GOAT price analysis Looking at GOAT’s price action, the technical charts are also flashing bullish signals. On the daily USDT chart, the 20-day exponential moving average just crossed above the 50-day moving average, forming a bullish “golden cross.”

GOAT price, 50-day and 200-day EMA chart — May 12 | Source: crypto.news The Supertrend indicator has also flipped green, suggesting the trend remains upward. 

GOAT Supertrend and MFI chart — May 12 | Source: crypto.news On top of that, the Money Flow Index hit 91, pointing to strong buying pressure and fresh funds pouring into GOAT, suggesting bulls remain firmly in control despite the overbought reading.

Given this bullish setup, the next target for GOAT is likely around the $0.39 to $0.41 area, a crucial support-resistance zone. If GOAT breaks through this zone, it could rally toward its yearly high of $0.59, which represents around 150% upside from its current level.

As of the latest update, GOAT has slightly pulled back from its daily peak, trading around $0.22 per coin.

Uniswap has become the world’s first decentralized exchange to hit $3 trillion in aggregate all-time volume.

CEO and founder Hayden Adams posted the achievement on X and thanked everyone who used the platform and helped decentralize the global finance system.

Uniswap currently holds a 23% market share when it comes to daily DEX volumes, with around $3B in volume in the last 24 hours.

As decentralized finance takes center stage, early DeFi investments could really reap heavy rewards.

Read on as we uncover more about Uniswap and also recommend the best new crypto you can invest in to make the most out of the DeFi movement.

Uniswap’s Smart Wallet Plans Uniswap started operating in late 2018. It’s really remarkable that it breached the $3T volume mark in just over six years.

Adam’s tweet also mentioned that Uniswap might be the first DEX to cross the $10T threshold.

$UNI, Uniswap’s native token, showed incredible strength during the last week. It rose around 39% and is currently trading around $7.

It’s worth noting that the CEO has also revealed plans to roll out a native 7702 wallet and support other 7702 wallets through EIP 5792.

7702 wallets allow Externally Owned Accounts (EOAs) to temporarily behave like smart contract wallets during a transaction.

They also come with advanced features such as gasless transactions and custom authentication, which were previously complex and costly.

Also, the new Pectra upgrade aims to bridge the gap between smart wallets and traditional wallets, mobilizing the DeFi migration. It also aims to make swapping crypto a lot more straightforward.

Unlike now, where you have to connect your wallet, pay gas fees, and go through several approval steps, 7702 wallets will allow for one-click swaps, thereby simplifying crypto trading.

As the DeFi ecosystem continues to grow with new features and applications being launched every other day, it’s clear that the future of global finance will have decentralization at its core.

Fret not, though, as you still have time to catch the DeFi train. To help you do so, we’ve handpicked the best cryptos to invest in right now.

1. Solaxy ($SOLX) – Best New Crypto to Buy Right Now When talking about new cryptos that will have a strong impact on the DeFi sector, Solaxy ($SOLX) is the first to come to mind.

After all, this multi-chain token aims to revamp Solana and restore its past glory. Solana, in case you didn’t know, was caught off guard by the launch of $TRUMP and $MELANIA.

The amount of new investors these cryptos brought to Solana proved to be too much for the network. As a result, the blockchain became prone to congestion and failed transactions during periods of heavy traffic.

To solve these issues, Solaxy will build the first-ever Layer 2 on Solana. It will process a bunch of Solana’s transactions on a sidechain, freeing up the network’s mainnet and increasing its speed and efficiency.

What’s more, since $SOLX will process multiple transactions simultaneously, i.e., in batches instead of one by one, it will also reduce the overall costs required to buy and sell cryptos on Solana.

The project has raised over $34.7M so far, but luckily for you, each token is still available for a low price of $0.001722. Want in? Here’s how to buy Solaxy.

2. BTC Bull Token ($BTCBULL) – Best Bitcoin-Themed New Altcoin on the Market Today BTC Bull Token ($BTCBULL) is arguably the best crypto to buy for Bitcoin supporters who are looking for a low-cost way to ride the king cryptocurrency’s growth.

The project’s developers are positive about their token following Bitcoin’s trajectory thanks to its never-before-seen approach to airdrops.

$BTCBULL holders (who store their tokens in Best Wallet) will be rewarded with free $BTC every time Bitcoin reaches a new milestone, such as $150K, $200K, and $250K.

Even better, BTC Bull Token will also follow a deflationary model. According to the project’s whitepaper, it will shave off a portion of the total token supply with every $25K jump in Bitcoin’s price.

So, as Bitcoin reaches record price levels, there’ll be fewer and fewer $BTCBULL tokens on the market. This will increase its demand as well as its price.

Speaking of the token’s price, we’ve predicted $BTCBULL to reach $0.0096 by the end of next year.

This means if you buy BTC Bull Token now for just $0.00251, you could stand to gain around 282.40% ROI in a little over 12 months. The project has over $5.6M in early investor funding at the time of writing.

3. Goatseus Maximus ($GOAT) – Viral Meme Coin Supported by an AI Chatbot Goatseus Maximus is a meme coin on Solana that launched in November 2024. It was created by a user on Pump.fun, but was later adopted by the Truth Terminal AI chatbot, which actively promotes it.

Interestingly, the chatbot calls $GOAT a ‘Trojan horse’ because it’s apparently going to reach every corner of the internet, gathering the support of millions of crypto traders.

After it benefited from the crypto bull run at the time of its launch, reaching a high of around $1.2, $GOAT fell by over 80%.

Now, however, it’s back among the top trending cryptos, having jumped nearly 200% in the last seven days.

$GOAT is currently trading at $0.2146, and seeing as another crypto bull run might be upon us, there’s a high likelihood that this cheap crypto keeps on breaking previous resistance levels.

Bottom Line – New Crypto in a Pole Position to Explode The crypto market has been green across the board ever since Bitcoin started trending upwards a few days ago.

If the trend continues, we can see new low-cap coins snap at the heels of the best meme coins in potentially no time at all.

At the same time, though, it’s worth remembering that the crypto arena is highly unpredictable and volatile.

Only jump in with an amount you’re comfortable losing, and always do your own research before investing. This article isn’t financial advice, after all.

Have meme coins captured your curiosity lately? These coins keep catching the spotlight in crypto conversations everywhere with their explosive community-driven growth and viral momentum. Arctic Pablo Coin (APC), Just A Chill Guy, and Goatseus Maximus are among the freshest projects generating buzz for investors seeking fresh opportunities.

While Just A Chill Guy recently announced innovative partnerships expanding its ecosystem, Goatseus Maximus has been making waves with new token utility updates and upcoming roadmap milestones. However, Arctic Pablo Coin (APC) stands out with a dynamic presale structure and a deflationary model that could redefine how meme coins are perceived. This article will cover the developments and updates of all three coins: Arctic Pablo Coin, Just A Chill Guy, and Goatseus Maximus.

Arctic Pablo Coin Token Burns and Staking Rewards Highlight Best Crypto Coins to Buy Arctic Pablo Coin’s token burn mechanism introduces a strategic scarcity that adds lasting value for investors. Unsold tokens are burned weekly throughout the presale, permanently removing them from circulation and setting the stage for a deflationary ecosystem. After the presale ends, any remaining unsold tokens will also be incinerated, helping protect long-term holders from dilution. Every token burn is transparently recorded on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC), reassuring investors with traceable activity.

The meme coin presale is unlike typical staged launches — instead, it’s divided by global locations as Arctic Pablo “travels” through unique phases. Currently, it’s in the 29th phase, known as Frosty Fields, with the price set at $0.00039 per token. To date, over $2.8 million has been raised, and investors in this phase are looking at a potential 1951% return on investment if the listing price hits $0.008.

In addition to scarcity, Arctic Pablo Coin offers a generous 66% APY during presale for those who stake their tokens, providing a real incentive beyond speculation. Community competitions and referral incentives further engage and reward the vibrant supporter base, turning participation into tangible rewards.

Arctic Pablo Coin Presale Reaches Frosty Fields Phase Among Best Crypto Coins to Buy Today Arctic Pablo Coin has now arrived at its 29th presale phase, Frosty Fields, where the current price per token sits at an enticing $0.00039. This stage represents a pivotal entry point for investors seeking to maximize potential returns before the token hits its listing price of $0.008, reflecting an impressive projected ROI of over 1951%. As Arctic Pablo continues to “travel” through new locations, each phase sees a gradual price increase, making Frosty Fields the last affordable chance to get in before the next surge. With over $2.8 million already raised, the momentum is undeniable.

Consider this scenario: an investment of just $1,500 at this price could secure approximately 3.8 million tokens, translating to a potential value of over $30,700 at listing. This combination of a shrinking token supply, thanks to weekly burns, and lucrative staking rewards with a 66% APY creates an irresistible opportunity for those ready to take advantage. Referral incentives and active community competitions add further layers of rewards, making the Frosty Fields phase a hotspot for investors aiming to be part of one of the best crypto coins to buy.

Just A Chill Guy Announces Exciting Partnerships and Ecosystem Growth with Unique Features Just A Chill Guy is making headlines this week with announcements of strategic partnerships to broaden its community reach and utility. Recent updates reveal collaborations with NFT platforms and DeFi projects, enhancing its ecosystem functionality. The coin continues to build steadily, driven by a growing user base and ongoing development updates. These moves position Just A Chill Guy as a promising project that’s expanding its real-world applications and appeal.

Goatseus Maximus Introduces New Token Utility Features and Roadmap Milestones to Watch Goatseus Maximus has attracted attention recently by unveiling new token utility features that enhance user engagement and token functionality. The latest roadmap updates include plans for platform integrations and reward mechanisms designed to boost token value and holder participation.

Thứ Ba, 9/9/2025 – Thị trường meme coin đang nóng trở lại với tổng vốn hóa toàn ngành vượt mốc 80 tỷ USD.

Các đồng như Goatseus Maximus (GOAT) và AI Companions (AIC) đã ghi nhận mức tăng gần 23% chỉ trong vòng 24 giờ, phản ánh sự trở lại mạnh mẽ của dòng tiền. Làn sóng hưng phấn này cũng được thể hiện rõ ở đợt presale của Snorter Bot Token (SNORT), vốn đã huy động được 3,8 triệu USD.

Snorter là một bot giao dịch trên Telegram phát triển trên nền tảng Solana, chuyên phát hiện các cú breakout của meme coin. Điểm đáng chú ý là hệ thống này vẫn hoạt động hiệu quả không chỉ khi thị trường đi lên mà cả trong giai đoạn điều chỉnh.

Tính năng nổi bật nhất là Fast Sniper – công cụ giúp Snorter bỏ xa các bot Telegram khác. Nhờ khả năng quét cơ hội sớm trước khi thị trường bùng nổ, nhà đầu tư nhỏ lẻ có thể tiếp cận nhanh các lệnh có tiềm năng “to the moon”.

Hiện tại, token SNORT đang mở bán ở mức giá 0,1039 USD và tiến độ bán ra cực kỳ nhanh. Chỉ trong vòng chưa đầy 48 giờ tới, giá sẽ tăng lên một tier mới khi bước sang vòng presale tiếp theo.

Lựa Chọn Của Murad Dẫn Đầu Xu Hướng Meme Coin Vào thứ Ba, khi vốn hóa meme coin một lần nữa chạm mốc 80 tỷ USD theo dữ liệu từ CoinGecko, nhóm dự án do Murad Mahmudov lựa chọn đã trở thành tâm điểm chú ý.

Danh mục được xây dựng bởi người đưa ra khái niệm “chu kỳ siêu meme coin” đã tăng 11,2%. Ngay sau đó là nhóm meme coin chủ đề ếch với mức tăng 8,5%, và The Boy’s Club đạt 8,4%.

Trong số các lựa chọn của Murad, những đồng nổi bật nhất qua đêm gồm Gigachad (GIGA) tăng 13,2% và SPX6900 (SPX) tăng 9,9%.

Bên cạnh đó, GOAT trên Solana và AIC trên Binance tiếp tục là hai cái tên dẫn đầu với mức tăng mạnh. MemeCore – đồng coin mới gia nhập top 10 với vốn hóa 3 tỷ USD chỉ sau hai tháng – cũng gây ấn tượng khi bật tăng 19,2% trong 24 giờ.

Đà tăng hiện tại khiến nhiều nhà đầu tư đặt câu hỏi: liệu siêu chu kỳ meme coin mà Murad từng dự báo có đang dần quay trở lại? Chính ông từng nhấn mạnh rằng đợt bùng nổ đầu tiên chỉ là khởi đầu của một “cơn sóng thần” lớn hơn nhiều.

Gần đây, Murad tiếp tục nhấn mạnh sự ưu tiên cho các token mang tính “tinh thần” hay thuần túy dựa trên “niềm tin”. Ông mô tả đây là những tài sản có thể thay đổi ví của một nhà đầu tư nhỏ lẻ chỉ sau một đêm — và MemeCore vừa minh chứng rõ ràng cho điều đó.

Thách thức lớn nhất là việc nhận diện và cam kết sớm với những token dạng này, trong khi phần đông nhà đầu tư chỉ nhận ra sức hút cộng đồng khi phần lớn đợt tăng giá đã trôi qua.

Ở đây, tự động hóa trở thành một công cụ hỗ trợ quan trọng.

Snorter Bot Token được phát triển nhằm loại bỏ yếu tố phỏng đoán của các trader nhỏ lẻ, thay vào đó để hệ thống quét thị trường 24/7 tìm kiếm cơ hội trong mọi điều kiện, dù thị trường đang tăng hay điều chỉnh.

Vì Sao Snorter Là “Đồng Minh Mọi Thời Tiết” Trong Giao Dịch Crypto Snorter Bot Token được phát triển với mục tiêu tạo ra một bot giao dịch có khả năng phát hiện breakout từ rất sớm – trước khi cú bứt phá thực sự diễn ra – và tự động thực thi lệnh nhanh chóng, đơn giản, với chi phí tối ưu nhất.

Lợi thế này đến từ việc xây dựng trên Solana, vốn nổi tiếng với tốc độ xử lý nhanh và phí giao dịch rẻ. Nhờ vậy, Snorter dễ dàng bắt sóng các meme coin trên Solana ngay trước khi thị trường bùng nổ. Thêm vào đó, việc tích hợp trực tiếp trên Telegram giúp người dùng thao tác thuận tiện ngay trong ứng dụng quen thuộc.

Điểm khiến Snorter được giới đầu tư giai đoạn sớm đặc biệt ưa chuộng chính là công nghệ. Thay vì phụ thuộc vào các endpoint công cộng thường xuyên quá tải, bot này sử dụng hạ tầng RPC chuyên biệt, cho phép truy cập nhanh hơn vào mempool và nhận diện hoạt động giao dịch tiềm ẩn. Nhờ đó, Snorter có thể phát hiện dòng vốn và hành động của “cá voi” trước khi số đông kịp phản ứng.

Khi tìm ra cơ hội, hệ thống thực thi sẽ kích hoạt tức thì. Snorter cho phép hoán đổi chỉ trong chưa tới một giây, đồng thời tích hợp lớp bảo vệ MEV giúp tránh bị front-running hay sandwich attack. Người nắm giữ SNORT token còn được hưởng mức phí thấp nhất thị trường – chỉ 0,85% so với mức 1,5% ở các bot cạnh tranh như Banana Gun, Maestro hay Trojan.

Sự kết hợp giữa RPC tối ưu, quét mempool và engine tốc độ cao đã biến Snorter thành một hệ thống giao dịch “mọi thời tiết” – hoạt động hiệu quả dù thị trường đi lên, đi xuống hay đi ngang.

Khả Năng Đa Chuỗi Trong Tương Lai Một câu hỏi tất yếu được đặt ra: Liệu Snorter Bot Token có thể mở rộng sang các hệ khác ngoài Solana, ví dụ như MemeCore hoặc những breakout tiềm năng sắp tới?

Câu trả lời là có. Snorter khởi đầu trên Solana để tận dụng tốc độ và phí thấp, nhưng lộ trình phát triển đã vạch sẵn kế hoạch đa chuỗi, bao gồm cả những hệ sinh thái lớn như Binance hay Ethereum.

Điều này cho thấy Snorter đang hướng đến việc trở thành một bot giao dịch không chỉ “mọi thời tiết” mà còn “đa chuỗi”, có khả năng theo dõi và xử lý cơ hội trên nhiều mạng lưới khác nhau. Dù đợt breakout tiếp theo xuất hiện ở đâu, từ Solana đến Binance hay Ethereum, Snorter đều sẵn sàng nắm bắt.

Khi phạm vi mở rộng, tiện ích của SNORT token cũng gia tăng. Nhiều chuỗi được giám sát đồng nghĩa nhiều cơ hội được tìm thấy hơn, kéo theo nhu cầu cao hơn từ trader muốn sở hữu SNORT để hưởng mức phí rẻ nhất. Điều này không chỉ củng cố giá trị của token, mà còn khẳng định vị trí trung tâm của nó trong toàn bộ hệ sinh thái Snorter.

Metrics posted today on the X platform showed a list of top blockchains by TVL growth in September 2025. The data reported by market analyst Crypto Patel indicated which chains are obtaining more clients, more financial applications, and more transactional activity from investors.

TVL growth is an essential indicator, showing which chains are receiving more funds and trust. It is a bullish indicator proving that DeFi is still active and growing. For investors, this growth points out where opportunities are originating from and which chains are pulling traction. It is also a signal of which tokens are performing well in the broader cryptocurrency market because TVL growth is typically connected with a price upturn.

Top chains by TVL Linea (LINEA) According to the data, Linea is gaining momentum, displaying its impressive market performance. Over the past month, Linea’s TVL rose by 153%, pushing it to number 12 among blockchains. Its TVL currently stands at $3.5 billion, which is up 14x since May. The increase in TVL in Linea’s network is an indicator that more customers are using decentralized applications on the project and offering liquidity. LINEA, a new token launched on public markets on September 10th, 2025, attracted user interest as multiple long-term investors took the opportunity to purchase the asset at low prices. Its listing on major exchanges, including Binance and many others, contributed to easier buying and selling of LINEA tokens, which attracted huge demand and money pouring into the network.

Goatseus Maximus (GOAT) GOAT, an uprising meme coin, also shines among chains with top TVL growth. In September, its TVL grew by 125%, indicating increased excitement and bullish momentum in the network. During the month, GOAT reignited customer interest, making it among the top-performing meme coins. Its price trajectory during the period reflects its recent performance. Its value, which currently hovers at $0.08681, has been up 7.1% and 9.4% over the past week and month, respectively.

Starknet (STRK) Starknet, a Layer-2 scaling solution built on Ethereum, also recorded remarkable growth in September as per the data. The network’s TVL increased by 56.8% over the month, reaching $256 million, mainly driven by increased trading activity and the recent integration of Starknet Bitcoin staking solution in DeFi. Over the last month, Starknet’s daily transaction volume rose to 900,000 transactions from 150,000 transactions noted in August. The catalyst for this ground-breaking record was increased engagement among new and existing customers.

Besides Anchorage Digital, a US crypto bank, launching a staking product for Starknet’s native token, STRK, early last month, Starknet enabled an integration of its Bitcoin staking in DeFi. The two factors fuelled heightened enthusiasm in the network.

Movement (MOVE) Fourth in the list is Movement Network, a Layer-2 solution on Ethereum. In the past 30 days, the TVL of the Movement network rose by 53.6%, reaching $334 million, boosted by network development to spur efficiency and serve greater user interest. In mid-last month, the Movement project upgraded its network into a Layer-1 blockchain to support native staking and advance network performance.

Other Top Chains with Excellent TVL Performance Other top market performers, as highlighted in the list, include World Chain, Arbitrum, Vaulta, and Bifrost.

The World Chain’s TVL surged by 37.7% over the past month, driven by strong fundamentals behind its network. It was followed by Arbitrum, a Layer-2 network, whose TVL increased by 31.4%, making the cumulative value currently stand at $7.2 billion. Vaulta, a Web3 banking ecosystem that rebranded from the EOS Network, is also seeing bullishness, signalled by its 28.5% monthly TLV growth. Last on the list is Bifrost, a liquid staking protocol based on Polkadot, is also grabbing market attention, as illustrated in the data.

Quantum computing and DATs are overhyped risks for 2026, says Grayscale, while predicting new highs for Bitcoin.

Grayscale said it expects 2026 to accelerate long-term structural shifts in digital asset investing, driven by macroeconomic pressures and clearer regulation.

But it has outlined two high-profile topics it does not expect to meaningfully influence crypto market performance in 2026 – quantum computing risks and the rise of digital asset treasuries (DATs).

Quantum Risks and DATs Won’t Move Markets While concerns around quantum computing frequently resurface, Grayscale, in its latest report titled “2026 Digital Asset Outlook,” argued that the threat remains distant from a market-impact perspective.

Although sufficiently powerful quantum machines could theoretically compromise existing cryptography, expert estimates suggest such capabilities are unlikely before 2030. As a result, research into post-quantum cryptography and network preparedness may accelerate next year, but Grayscale does not expect these efforts to materially affect crypto valuations in the near term.

The firm takes a similarly measured view on DATs, despite their growing media attention. Corporate balance sheet strategies that hold crypto assets expanded rapidly in 2025, yet demand has since cooled, and many DATs are now trading close to net asset value. Importantly, most are lightly levered and unlikely to trigger forced selling during downturns.

The asset manager expects DATs to function more like closed-end funds, which will make them a lasting but largely neutral factor for crypto markets in 2026.

New ATH in 2026? On the price side, Grayscale has reiterated its bullish outlook on Bitcoin, predicting that it is likely to reach a new all-time high in the first half of the year, even as the market grapples with short-term weakness. According to the asset manager, the broader crypto asset class remains in a bull market, and 2026 is expected to mark the end of the traditional four-year cycle, which could bring rising valuations across all sectors.

First is the growing macro demand for alternative stores of value, as high and rising public debt increases long-term risks to fiat currencies. In this environment, scarce digital commodities like Bitcoin and Ethereum are increasingly viewed as portfolio hedges against potential currency debasement.

Second, improving regulatory clarity is unlocking institutional capital. Some of the important milestones, including Grayscale’s legal victory against the SEC, the launch of spot Bitcoin and Ether ETPs, and the passage of stablecoin legislation, have reduced uncertainty for investors.

Looking ahead, the firm expects further bipartisan crypto market structure laws, which could firmly embed blockchain-based finance into US capital markets and support higher Bitcoin prices.

USUAL: Usual Zero Rate: Bringing Usual's Credit Lane Home

Stablecoins are on track to become the backbone of tomorrow’s financial system, but the real battleground will not be “who issues the most dollars.” It will be who distributes them best, who integrates them everywhere, and above all who builds the services that make them useful. In a market that is unlikely to remain concentrated, stablecoins will compete less on the peg and more on the credit and yield rails attached to them.

USD0 was designed with that in mind. It is not just a settlement asset. It is meant to be a credit and capital vehicle for the Usual ecosystem. And like money in the real economy, USD0 only becomes infrastructure when it circulates. That circulation depends on access to credit. Without a native borrowing lane, stable assets remain passive. Users can hold them, but they cannot efficiently reuse them.

This is what Usual Zero Rate unlocks.

As part of Usual Labs’ rollout of Fira, UZR is now live as Usual’s first native credit primitive. Credit that previously required external partners is now internalized via Fira, protocol-owned, DAO-governed, and aligned with Usual’s long-term architecture. Users can borrow USD0 at a zero rate, enabling capital-efficient strategies without reflexive emissions incentives.

In practice, UZR also reframes bUSD0 as a zero-coupon bond, a simple maturity-based instrument that replaces earlier, more complex mechanics that created governance-token selling pressure. The result is a cleaner system with a tighter loop, where borrowing demand, liquidity, and fee capture remain inside Usual, supporting TVL concentration and value accrual to the ecosystem.

TL;DRUZR is Usual’s first native credit primitive: you can borrow USD0 at zero rate.

Credit that previously relied on external venues is now internalized via Fira: protocol-owned, DAO-governed, and aligned with Usual’s long-term architecture.

bUSD0 is repositioned as a zero-coupon bond (discount to par): simpler, more readable mechanics that reduce reflexive incentive dynamics.

Rollout is progressive: liquidity is added in tranches from Wednesday, January 14, 2026 through Sunday evening, January 18, then scales from Monday, January 19 based on migration demand.

Euler to Fira migration is available immediately but is one-way only. Fira’s Borrow and Repay UI goes live on Thursday, January 22, 2026.

In DeFi, the rate often becomes a product in itself. Users stop borrowing to deploy capital and start borrowing to play rates, optimize loops, and farm subsidies. The outcome is predictable: opaque execution, incentives captured by farmers, and structural sell pressure on the governance token.

A zero rate is a deliberate choice to break that dynamic. It removes rate speculation from the core product, cleans up the carry trade logic, and ends a governance-token distribution that was primarily captured by farming strategies. Instead, borrowing goes back to what it should be: simple access to credit to put capital to work, with full visibility.

Users can now borrow and lever with a clear understanding of the strategy’s cost and the net return expected at maturity. The only market variable to monitor is the bUSD0 discount on the secondary market if you choose to exit before maturity. Simpler. Clearer.

With UZR:

Borrowing costs are predictable

Protocol fees are capped and transparent

Economic value accrues to the Usual DAO

There is no emissions-driven incentive loop. There is no rate volatility embedded in the core credit path. The system favors clarity over optimization theater.

This design aligns borrowing with use. It simplifies governance and risk evaluation. Credit exists because it is needed, not because it is subsidized.

Internalizing the credit laneA base layer for future creditBefore UZR, borrowing demand was satisfied via external platforms. While effective, that structure pushed fees and control outside the protocol.

UZR internalizes this function. Credit activity now happens within Usual’s economic perimeter via Fira. This has three implications.

First, protocol revenue remains internal.

Second, parameter control belongs to governance.

Third, future credit extensions can be built without relying on third-party incentives.

This is not a rejection of composability. It is a prerequisite.

UZR is a starting point, not an endpoint.

By establishing a native, zero-rate credit primitive, Usual lays the foundation for more expressive credit markets: fixed-rate instruments, maturity-based borrowing, and structured credit products. All of this becomes possible without re-architecting the base system.

Because the credit lane is protocol-owned, extensions can be added progressively and governed coherently.

A key shift: bUSD0 as a zero-coupon bondUZR simplifies the system by reframing bUSD0 as a maturity instrument: a zero-coupon bond that moves from discount to par.

Concretely, this delivers:

A cleaner structure

A tighter link between borrowing demand, liquidity, and value capture

Less reliance on mechanisms that historically created indirect market pressure via misaligned incentives

Credit becomes a tighter loop: usage stays inside, and beneficial effects accumulate inside.

UZR Launch: what you need to knowProgressive liquidity deployment in tranchesUZR is rolling out progressively. Liquidity will be added in tranches, not all at once.

The goal is to ensure a stable rollout and reduce risk during the first days of operation.

Wednesday, January 14, 2026: UZR opens with an initial liquidity tranche

Through Sunday evening, January 18: additional tranches are added regularly and announced through our usual communication channels

Starting Monday, January 19: liquidity scales based on migration demand

Each new tranche will be communicated publicly. Some tranches may fill quickly, and additional tranches will be added as needed.

Euler to Fira migrationMigration is available immediately, but it is one-way only.

Migration path: Euler to Fira only

Fira’s Borrow and Repay frontend features go live on Thursday, January 22, 2026

Between now and January 22: users can migrate, but cannot yet borrow or repay via the Fira UI. Direct contract interaction is required during this window

USUAL rewards and the transition windowIf liquidity is temporarily limited, users will not be penalized.

USUAL rewards on USL remain active until Monday, January 19, 2026

The final distribution follows the usual schedule

On Euler, the interest rate remains unchanged at 1.5%

In practice, even if migration is gradual, users continue earning rewards on USL until the final distribution.

Who is UZR for?UZR is built for anyone who wants to use USD0 as working capital, not just as a passive holding.

Deploy capital without embedding rate speculation into the core credit path

Run maturity-based strategies with a simple, transparent cost model

Access credit that is native to the Usual ecosystem, with coherent governance

As always in DeFi, outcomes depend on your position, collateral, and market conditions, especially if you exit before maturity via secondary markets.

Transparency and risksUZR simplifies the credit lane, but it does not remove risks inherent to DeFi:

Smart contract risk

Liquidation risk depending on your collateral and position design

Liquidity and price risk on secondary markets (bUSD0 discount)

Operational risk during a progressive rollout period

Usual’s goal is to build finance-grade rails that are readable, governable, and extensible, with a controlled ramp-up.

ConclusionUsual Zero Rate marks a structural milestone: shifting USD0 from a settlement asset to a capital asset, supported by a native, zero-rate credit primitive.

Zero rate. Maturity-based clarity. Coherent governance. Value captured inside the ecosystem.

This is a foundation, and the base layer on which Usual can build increasingly expressive credit markets without losing what matters most: clarity and alignment.
